John Trapp on Ezra 8:13

Verſe 13. And of the ſonnes of Adonikam] Some of his ſonnes went up before with Zerubbabel, ch. 2.13.Epoſteris poſterioribus Tremel Theſe not till now, together with Ezra. They might want either age or hearts to go at firſt with their brethren. Second thoughts are beſt many times: and Nunquam jerò, ſi ſeriò. That ſonne in the Goſpel, who being bidden go work to day in the Vineyard, anſwered and ſaid, I will not, but afterwards repented, and went, wanted not his commendation, Matth. 21.29. A learned man deſcanteth thus upon this Text: The lot of Adonikam was below his brethren, becauſe he was the laſt that ſet foot forward toward their returne.
